Blame 343s terrible coding. It's not hacking nor jtag it's simple.
Enlighten us.
Well clearly they did something wrong. I don't remember hearing about headless Spartans in any other Halo game ;)
Yes, I was just curious on the method since it didn't require jtags or 'hacking'.

Up down left right up up a. Duh.

I lol'd.

This has been out for over a week, they're permabanning for it now.
Permaban? A bit harsh... especially for those that didn't know of the penalty. Oh, won't they be surprised.
They deserve it. Other people's experiences are ruined by those people.

I believe it only requires a USB stick, and either experience in editing .GPDs, or a proper tutorial.

Well, my experience is ruined by people using "wall haxs" and needing to unlock weapons. Can I permaban 343? My point is, if a friend told you that your character can appear headless wouldn't you be inclined to check it out thinking it'd be cool? Not knowing that 343 would permaban you for doing so is a severe oversight. Perhaps a lesser punishment should be enforced on those that have done it up till now, and then permabans handed out once they've clearly articulated the consequences to all players.

343 and logic just don't make sense dumb it down a little and you'll get it.

Nope modification of game files is a clear violation of the rules. Modders/Hackers always get permabanned there is no exception or warning needed.

Yea I versed a bloke like that, I just filed a complaint submitted a bad player review and moved on.

  • 12.18.2012 1:45 AM PDT

This video made me chuckle. A headless spartan running around the map?! That would have be hilarious!

That may be the best hack so far. The ones in Reach were fun, full auto DMRs

The consequences were clearly articulated to all Xbox Live subscribers approximately 11 years ago with the release of the Xbox Live platform. They've been re-articulated with every single mod ever released on the Xbox Live platform.

If you haven't been fairly warned, you weren't paying attention.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

This is actually quite funny.

Wow, that's really ironic, considering if I had the option to look like that in halo 4, I would. I'd just remove my arms and legs so I would be a floating torso, so that way I'd never have to see all the fugly armour.

As much as I don't care about lolinfection, I think a headless spartan would be quite fitting for it.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Well now I'm going to avoid Swat and hackers until 343 gets that fixed.
Hopefully it won't take them too long.

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

The headless SWAT players have been around virtually since release week, but I only just encountered my first today.

Along with people who'd modded armor and unlocks and the Team Emblems.

Really? Because this was the first I've seen and heard of this.
